Slovis, who has directing credits on four episodes of Breaking Bad, as well as director of photography credits on over twenty episodes, joins a team of directors including Alex Graves (The West Wing), Michelle Maclaren (Breaking Bad), David Nutter (Shameless) and Alik Sakharov (Dexter).

Graves revealed earlier this year that he will be taking a season break from Game of Thrones, after directing four out of ten episodes of the fourth season. He plans to return for season six.
